How Do You Fix Imposter Syndrome? | Elaine Belson, LCSW

Strategies for Overcoming Imposter Syndrome*
Overcome imposter syndrome by self-validating, using two techniques, "Be your own best friend," and "Opposite of the Golden Rule." I also introduce the "worst-case scenario" exercise to identify underlying fears and what's in your control to prevent them. Finally, I discuss how to redirect your focus to the present moment and demonstrate using a personal anecdote. * Please disregard the periodic eye distortion due to an editing malfunction.
